Cuts out the middleman for NIL deals? Pretty smart if that’s the case.

They are using someone who takes a cut off the top.

I guess I don’t know if that’s a reasonable number or extremely high.

TCuz

I dont know either but, knee jerk reaction is that it seems high to me.

It’s high for hosting, agency or typical NIL work

It should be tiered. It's low if they don't get many donations. It's REALLY REALLY high if they get a ton of

It seems high, but they are running a lot of infrastructure for it

Can’t imagine cougconnect is happy about this.

They're posting on twitter about why they are better.

I’d assume that if they were better the entire BYU football team wouldn’t have

I just looked at the Coug Connect website. It is not good..

Wow...curious how this impacts teams...playing or not playing could go right to

I can understand why some players decided not to participate.

coolblue

They say their goal is $55,000 a month.. so YOKE takes home $9,900

Funny enough, BYU has multiple groups trying to organize NIL, while Utah has…………nothing.

But many other programs have NIl collectives

They don't want to play it fast and loose. Good idea to wait a few years.

CB is partnered with CougConnect to do something similar. See the insider subscription plan.

Why partner with Cougconnect? The point of doing it directly is that all of the

I assume that 100% will go to the players then?

Cougar Board is not a non profit.

ParentingNotForSissy

Doesn't mean CB needs to make profit on everything it does.

About 300% currently

Rule #1: if you’re good at something never do it for free.

Isn’t this reverse NIL? We are supposed to hire them—not them solicit us, right?

I’ll support these guys, why not!
